Burger King creates "Meat Scented" cologne for men

You know, Burger King is one of major corporations that have underwent numerous internal reorganizations then any other. And I can't imagine why. I wonder what pencil pushing nut-job gave the green light on this decision.

Burger King now has available to purchase in their cologne for men called "Flame by BK" that comes in these 5-ml bottles and these are available in Ricky's stores (in NY City) and on a special website for the product: www.firemeetsdesire.com for $3.99.

On the website, they use the satire "Sexy is Serious." Judging by the design of this website, I can't take it seriously; but then again, how could you take it seriously to begin with?

Luis Bejaran whom manages a Ricky's store said "My assumption when I heard about it was that it would smell like french fries and burgers. It's a combination of Axe body spray, TAG and this YSL cologne I have. It's one of those scents that's not sweet, and light at the same time." But as of the afternoon of Wednesday, Dec 17th, the store sold 10 bottles.

One of Luis coworkers said "It doesn't seem like the best choice for a man." (I couldn't agree more.)

Shouldn't the cologne be for women to use to attract their man? It would make more sense if it were marketed that way, although I don't know a single chick whom be caught dead wearing this stuff. In regards to a man using the product, I can't help but only picture a hick redneck, or some fat lumberjack man wanting to wear this stuff.

There have been more bizarre products out there to buy, but a fast-food chain attempting to sell products other then food is going to be really tough.

This blog is mainly a hobby of mine, and some of the posts or topics you see here on Mitalis.com are things that I feel are important enough for people whom share my interests.
A perfect example:
Dealing with copy protection on video games. As a gamer, I think DRM is one of the worst things any publisher can ever tack on to their games. The only thing DRM does is punish those whom purchase their products legitimately.
Where as some of my other posts, (mostly the video posts) are things I found on the internet that I find humorous.
